Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
  In order to provide you with the best possible dental care, it is essential that our dentists are able to accurately evaluate and diagnose your oral health. One of the state-of-the-art tools we use to do that is Panorex panoramic X-rays. While standard X-rays, called bitewing X-rays, provide us with a view of a few teeth and the supporting bone structure, panoramic X-rays allow us to view the full upper and lower dental arches – including all of the teeth, upper and lower jawbones, and the surrounding facial structures. Using Panorex panoramic X-rays, Drs. Mark and Christen Simpson are able to...
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Common, yet serious, adult oral health problems such as gum disease and oral cancer, can be detected early with routine screenings. Oral cancer screenings are an essential part of your oral health evaluation. We utilize the VELscope® oral cancer detecting tool to help us uncover questionable lesions.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Veneers are the long-term, durable solution to correcting problem teeth. In just one or two visits to Simpson Dental PLLC, we can place your custom dental veneers and help achieve a smile that is more beautiful and inviting. Veneers, thin coverings of porcelain also known as dental porcelain laminates, are the state-of-the-art in conservative aesthetic dentistry. The dental professionals at Simpson Dental can make subtle changes or complete makeovers with veneers. These durable restorations consist of custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials, made from porcelain or from resin composite, designed to cover the front surface of teeth. The shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
• Veneers
  If you are not satisfied with the appearance of your teeth, discover how veneers are often the right choice to transform your teeth and enhance your smile. Veneers are thin coverings of ceramic or porcelain that are bonded to your tooth with little or no modification of your natural tooth. They are great for improving the appearance of your teeth, including lightening the color by several shades. Our dentists will help you select a shade of porcelain that is both natural looking and beautiful. Drs. Mark and Christen Simpson may recommend dental veneers in Charleston, West Virginia, to transform your teeth and improve your smile by...
• Crowns
  When more than half of a tooth’s biting surface is damaged, the dentist will often recommend an dental inlay or onlay. Traditional fillings often reduce the strength of a natural tooth by as much as 50 percent. Bonding an inlay or onlay onto the tooth can actually increase the strength of a damaged tooth by up to 75 percent. Inlays and onlays provide results that last. The inlay and onlay solutions provided at Simpson Dental PLLC provide a very good alternative when tooth damage is not extensive enough to merit an entire crown.
• Bridges
  A dental bridge is one of the options we offer at Simpson Dental PLLC to replace missing teeth. Bridges are typically used to replace a single missing tooth or a couple of missing teeth in a row. When in place, a superior dental bridge brings desired results to improve your smile by...
• Dental Bonding
  Dental bonding material is very similar to a clay or putty. It is carefully color-matched to your surrounding teeth. Dr. Simpson begins by roughening the surface of the tooth that needs restoration. This ensures a strong bond between the tooth and the bonding material. The doctor then applies the bonding material in layers until the tooth looks the way you want it. The bonding material is cured/hardened with a special light and polished. You are then ready to face the world with your new smile.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Restorative dentistry has completely changed in the last 10 years. For the last 500 years, dental crowns have basically been made the same way. Metal was cast into the shape of a tooth and cemented to the remaining tooth to replace the decayed or fractured portion of the tooth. Changes were made to add porcelain to the tooth to make it tooth-colored. Basically, things were the same since modern dentistry began in the year 1510. Everything has changed now.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Teeth can become endodontically involved for a number of reasons; the most common are decay and trauma. A tooth can require endodontics, and we may not know the exact cause, but the most common is infection that may go undetected. Regardless of the cause, our dentists must treat the tooth in order to save it.
• Apicoectomy
  On a rare occasion, a tooth with a root canal can become re-infected. This could be caused by a defective restoration or leaking. This is usually resolved by a minor surgical procedure called an apicoectomy. Surgical endodontics is performed to reseal the apex of the root. Often, the restoration may need to be replaced.
